FACTS ABOUT RIBBONS.
Historical Data Relating to an Impo
ant and Steadily Growing Industry

Historical Data Relating to an Import
ant and Steadily Growing Industry,
1t is known that the manufacture of
ribbons was fairly established in st.
Etienne, France, in the eleventh GEN.
tury, and that the place remains to this
day the principal center of the industry.
During the persecution of the Hugue-
nots in that country many of the st.
Etienne operatives went to Basle,
Switzerland, and established the indus
try there. where it became second only
to st. Etienne. The third most i'm.
portant center was Coventry, England,
but Crefeld and Vienna are also largo
producing centers. To-day there are
manufactured in the United States
quite as many ribbons as are made in
St. Etienne. The product of Switzer-
land consists mainly of plain stylcsi
that of France largely of fine and fancy
millinery goods; that of Crefeld mainly
of black silk and black velvet ribbons,
the latter especially; that of England
largely of plain goods; while the United
States tries every thing with much sue
cess, though dependent chiefly upon
Europe for the lead in styles. 1t is a
curious fact that for five hundred years
ribbons were worn mostly by men
rather than by women, especially during
the long period of effeminacy in the
malel attire. In the fifteenth to the
seventeenth centuries their use in Eng
land were restricted to the royalty and
gentry by statute. In the time of Charles
II. and James the II. the whole attire
was covered with ribbons. A fop in
those days was described as wearing
more than would stock half dozen
shops or twenty country peddlers." II
is another curious fact that in the man.
ufacture of ribbons the self-acting loom
was in use hundred years before Cart.
wright's invention, and that in more
recent times little new has been added
in that branch of the silk industry

with an Individual Check-Isook.
AChicago bank man who has love-
ly wife told pretty good story at his
club the other day by way of illustrat-
ing the proverMal ways of women. She
had said to him: "Dear, now I'm not
going to ask you for an allowance; that
is vulgar. You put a couple of thou
sand in bank to my credit, give me a
check-book, and I'll run the house,
clothe myself, of course, pay the SER
wants, and relieve you of so much
care"
The gentleman was struck with the
idea. "After ALL" he said to himself.
"this marriage scrape I've got myself
into promises to pan out. Dear. good
little womani How thoughtful of her!
Why, of course!' So he drew check
on his own bank, deposited it in an
other bank to his wife's individual
credit, and gave her separate bank
and check book. Womanlike. she
tossed the handbook into drawer,
but held religiously to the check-book.
Long before the month had expired she
got notice from the bank that her ac-
count was exhausted, and the last check
had overdrawn it $1.79. Would she
kindly make new deposit?"
The lady was in a furious fume.
There must be something wrong. she
knew. She pored over her check-book,
counted the stubs and the blank checks,
and then she knew that the bank had
made blunder. She donned her new
bonnet and wrap, and full of the spirit
of the occasion and the outrage of thu
banks insult sailed into the cashier a
his window.
"What does this notice meanp" sh,
asked, in a voice quivering with pas
sion.

drawn, madam, that's all.'
